Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , 1 comment so farLet’s not just forget the past but let’s pave over it. The CIA reports that China and India will be world super powers by the year 2020 and the United States will take a backseat.
This is old news. China has forecasted the demise of the United States in reports from the early 1980s and again in 1991 citing the same timeframe that the CIA is now releasing.
Of course with the behavior of our troops as cited above and the current leadership (ie. Bush) thinking of now and not caring about our societies future (eg. spending our money like mad, accumulating debt like we will never have to pay it, etc and all in the name of some ill conceived war which I still contend is a person vendetta between Sr and Saddam).
I love my country. I want it to stay on top. But with leadership that destroys our National Parks (see also), doesn’t care about education, can’t separate religion from state, and doesn’t care about the environment, how can we do anything but fall?

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentThe other day I saw the cat playing with the biggest mouse I’ve ever seen. The wife and mother-in-law jump straight to “rat” but I swear its not a rat. The wife saw it wandering through the yard today followed by a fairly disinterested catdangling from the cat’s mouth and squirming to get out. Apparently it is just not as exciting as a mouse. Our new yard pet? Looks like a gerbil. I suppose the neighbors got rid of theirs.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentI was a little slow today but the lottery results are now posted on TN Lottery Results, TN Lottery Results Blog and TN Lottery Results Blogspot.
Feel free to create links to those sites and help see if we can get google to start indexing them. They have great ranking on MSN and Yahoo but aren’t even listed on google.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentSo last weekend while the weather was gorgeous I changed the brake pads on the rear wheels but couldn’t get myself motivated to do the front brakes. Last night after a severely loud pop the “brake light” on the dash came on (indicates low brake fluid) and my tire is covered in brake fluid and naturally I have trouble stopping the car. My $35 dollar repair just got expensive. I am sure the caliper broke and may have taken the brake line with it and may have gouged the tire.
I want to beat myself up over this but I’m just accepting the path I have walked. Things will work out.

Pop! Goes the Circuit! January 15, 2005 9:20 am
Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentPutting the microwave and the coffee maker on the same circuit is fine unless you turn them both on at the same time. Looking at the circuit map of my house makes me laugh because the bathroom outlet where the hair dryer is used is on that very same circuit! Me thinks some rewiring is in order.

Posted by djuggler in : Daily Life , add a commentOnce again all deadlines fall in the same timeframe. I hope before I die I can take a real vacation.
My 8 year old son said today, “we don’t take vacations.” as a matter-of-fact response to someone else discussing vacation activities. That made me sad.
I felt today that I’ve failed my 8 year old son. He did exceptionally well to excel within his class to participate in a school wide spelling bee. He was one of 22 students and made it to the third round. By that point he was one of 11 contestants left. He was knocked out with “tiresome” by spelling it “tiresom”. As they said the word, I subvocalized “alright! Easy one!” Murph (see post) struck. The failure comes in that we bought the practice for the spelling bee during last school year. It sits somewhere in our mess. Noah excelled on his own. I wonder what he could have achieved had I practiced with him.
